Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

Xiao Fengyi found the man in front of her increasingly absurd! He actually had the audacity to come up with the idea of ​​working together to deal with Feng Xingye.

What makes him think he'd team up with him to deal with Feng Xingye? This guy is really confident...

The man before him wore a white robe with red sparrows. His shaved hair had grown out a bit and stood upright on his head, covered by a crown. The beads between his hairpins swayed constantly with the movement of the mirror in the wind.

He took out a folding fan and placed it on Xiao Fengyi's chin, saying lightly, "Xiao Fengyi, I know you don't like Ninth Prince, and you're only with her to avoid me."

Upon hearing this confident statement, Xiao Fengyi laughed in anger and didn't even bother to say another word to Feng Mingjing.

She circled around the mirror and continued walking towards the front, while the man backed away and blocked Xiao Fengyi again.

He whispered in her ear, feigning nonchalance, "You used to like me, so why did you end up with Feng Xingye? I know I got too close to your sister and upset you, but you're still my favorite. As for Qingyin, that was an accident, a fleeting affair."

An unexpected encounter? A fleeting romance?

It's unbelievable that he said that. I wonder how Xiao Qingyin felt when she heard this man define the relationship in that way.

When Xiao Fengyi was forced to turn around by Feng Mingjing, a playful curve appeared between her brows.

Just as she was about to launch into a sarcastic remark at Feng Mingjing, she inadvertently glanced at Xiao Qingyin behind him.

Xiao Qingyin really came? She's going to be crying and wailing, isn't she?

This is really going to be a good show.

Xiao Qingyin's face was still pale. Supported by Madam Shen, she walked to Xiao Fengyi and Feng Mingjing's side, her eyes still filled with resentment.

Xiao Fengyi knew that all those resentful expressions were reserved for herself, and she didn't mean them to Feng Mingjing at all.

She gave Feng Mingjing a proper lady's curtsy, "Seventh Prince, you..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her hesitant expression spoke volumes, as if she were blaming the man for provoking her sister and saying those heartbreaking things.

Seeing his pitiful state, even Xiao Fengyi felt a pang of pity. She couldn't believe Feng Xingye wouldn't be moved.

He dared to say he was jealous of Xiao Qingyin in front of him? Xiao Fengyi's next words showed him what it meant to be indifferent.

"Your Highness, my sister looks like she's about to cry. Aren't you going to comfort her?" Xiao Fengyi deliberately provoked Feng Mingjing to expose his lie and make him stop bothering her.

Feng Xingye looked left and right. On one side was his elder sister, representing the throne and his future; on the other side was his younger sister, representing his emotions and hopes. He wanted both external and internal needs, and he wanted to grasp both. But... now someone was forcing him to make a choice.

How to do?

Feng Mingjing narrowed his eyes, looked at his younger sister, and said gently, "Qingyin, why aren't you resting in Fuyin Courtyard? What are you doing here? You should go back first. I'll come to see you after I've finished dealing with my business here."

Xiao Fengyi realized that the man was trying to appease Xiao Qingyin and tell her not to cause trouble.

For Feng Mingjing, she is the most important person, which makes sense when you think about it.

He even told me in front of him that he was going to visit Xiao Qingyin at Fuyin Courtyard.

Feng Mingjing also said that she was angry because of Xiao Qingyin, which was obviously an attempt to appease her, and she didn't even pretend.

This person is hopeless.

"Your Highness, I feel much better and don't want to stay in bed anymore. I want to go out for a walk." Xiao Qingyin clearly didn't want to go back, afraid that Feng Mingjing was still attached to Xiao Fengyi and would keep watching them.

"Qingyin, be good."

Feng Mingjing tried his best to persuade her because he had an important matter to discuss with Xiao Fengyi.

This matter could bring down Feng Xingye, and Xiao Fengyi is Prince Zhao's fiancée. If she is willing to come forward and report him, others will think that she is putting righteousness before family, which would make things much easier.

The sight of this pair of adulterers putting on a show of deep affection in front of her was truly disgusting. Xiao Fengyi didn't want to watch any longer. "Your Highness, Qingyin, if you have something to say, please say it quickly. I won't keep you any longer."

This time, she didn't let Feng Mingjing stop her. Her steps were so fast it was as if she were riding on wheels of fire. Her clothes fluttered as she bypassed the screen wall and left the hall.

Feng Mingjing followed for a few steps, but was still held back by Xiao Qingyin.

The little girl, as beautiful as a jasmine flower, looked up at her and pleaded pitifully, "Seventh Prince, you promised me you wouldn't bother my sister anymore. She's going to marry Prince Zhao; she's a discarded pawn. Please give up."

Feng Mingjing originally wanted to reprimand the woman who was holding him back, but when he saw Xiao Qingyin's beautiful face, he couldn't bear to do it.

He turned to Xiao Qingyin with a sigh and said, "Qingyin, you don't know, there's something I absolutely have to get Xiao Fengyi to do. If it weren't for her, this wouldn't have been possible at all."

Xiao Qingyin, believing she had stolen Feng Mingjing's favor, no longer acted subserviently as before, but instead became arrogant and spoiled.

"Your Highness, is there anything you absolutely need that wretched woman to do? She's treated you like that, so just give up. She won't help you."

In the past, Xiao Qingyin would never have dared to say such things. It was thanks to Xiao Fengyi and Feng Xingye's engagement, as well as Feng Mingjing's doting and affection for her, that Xiao Qingyin felt that the man in front of her had feelings for her and liked her very much.

Watching from the side, Madam Shen understood some of the things.

Feng Mingjing arrived in a hurry, and after seeing her, he didn't mention wanting to see Qingyin. Whenever he saw Fengyi, he had a bad feeling.

Madam Shen didn't dare to delay and immediately invited Xiao Fengyi as Feng Mingjing requested. She also went out of her way to invite Xiao Qingyin.

She was afraid that Xiao Fengyi would be fickle and continue to provoke the Seventh Prince after getting engaged to Prince Zhao. Unexpectedly, Xiao Fengyi didn't want to pay any attention to Feng Mingjing.

This behavior was beyond her expectations; it felt a lot like her older sister's.

After realizing that she had such a terrible thought, Ms. Shen immediately put it out.

While she was lost in thought, her daughter pressed Feng Mingjing, "Your Highness, what do you want to see my sister about? Can you tell me?"

"I……"

Feng Mingjing hesitated, but judging from his expression, he did have something important to discuss with Xiao Fengyi.

Xiao Qingyin leaned against the man and said gently, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't help you. If you have any problems, feel free to tell me. I'll offer some advice, and maybe I'll be able to help you."

She wanted to know everything about Feng Mingjing, to find a way to help him, and to become his strategist, so that even if this man changed his mind, he would still be able to leave her.

Feng Mingjing thought about it for a while, and finally decided to tell the person in front of him.

"I can tell you, since you always give me ideas anyway."

“This matter is related to the Ninth Prince. I discovered that the Ninth Prince has close ties with an iron mine.”

Iron ore? That's a really big deal.
